HARTFORD, Conn. – The families of nine of the 26 people killed and a teacher wounded two years ago at the Sandy Hook Elementary School filed a lawsuit Monday against the manufacturer, distributor and seller of the rifle used in the shooting.
The negligence and wrongful death lawsuit, filed in Bridgeport Superior Court, asserts that the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle should not have been made publicly available because it was designed for military use and is unsuited for hunting or home defense.
"The AR-15 was specifically engineered for the United States military to meet the needs of changing warfare," attorney Josh Koskoff said in a release. "In fact, one of the Army's specifications for the AR-15 was that it has the capability to penetrate a steel helmet."
In addition to Bushmaster, the defendants are Camfour, a firearm distributor, and Riverview Gun Sales, the East Windsor store where the gunman's mother purchased the Bushmaster rifle in 2010.

Bushmaster needs to sue for legal costs and damages. This is a harassment law suit meant to cost them money and destroy their business.
Should go nowhere as this is NOT a military weapon and is legal for sale in the US.
Sorry for your loss but its not a chance to win the lottery or to push an unconstitutional agenda...........
Are you saying that Newton school officials wanted these children killed?
You appear to be a conspiracy theorist. Good luck with that.
They read it wrong. Screw the Supreme Court and the horse they rode in on.
They sure set up inviting facility. What else do you think those news of women using children for welfare paychecks is all about when they end up killing the kid despite repeated warnings to authorities.
They do not care about the children. It is an alimoni scheme for the government. It is deliberate.
To make people slaves in jail, make them guilty and disarm them, and take their children to public school.it is the perfect pedophile exploitation scheme, islam being classical, socialism being the modern cartesian version.
Carlos the Jackal said it best on 911: bringing the guys with the weapons is easy. The hard part is setting it up from the inside for it to work out, crwating the right conditions.
Probably best not to drive a car or operate heavy machinery right now.
Reminds me of when the family of Rachael Corey sued Caterpillar Inc. for making the bull dozer that ran over her stupid a$$.
How many of these ‘parents’ opened donation pages a day or two before the incident? ... And if you doubt some did, you need to do some research on Newtown.
“I’m saying the government is lying about the murder weapon being a rifle. “
There are too many witnesses for that theory to be reasonable.
This makes as much sense as the family of the victim in St Louis suing hammer manufacturers.
While I agree that is what needs to be done, it won't be. They'd rather blame the tool than the individual, and especially if the mood-altered killer in therapy is at fault, because that would spread the blame where the libs want it least (Counselors/Therapists, Pharma, and the individuals themselves).
“How many of these ‘parents’ opened donation pages a day or two before the incident? “
I give up. How many?
And they work pretty well on small game, too.
What witnesses? I don’t recall anyone making it out that directly saw him.
I think you are reading into something that does not exist.
IIRC Colt is almost bankrupt (again).
Ok, is that all the argument you have? A cheap shill personal attack from a narcissist?
I am sorry for your condition. I really am.
